Catalogue Note
A long chrome cocktail spoon of the Art Deco period, distinguished by a boldly geometricized handle. The extended length suits tall mixing glasses and cocktail pitchers. The bright chrome finish and machine-age design reflect the glamour of 1920s–30s cocktail culture.
Spoon Lore
The cocktail spoon — with its long stem for reaching the bottom of tall mixing glasses — became an essential bar tool during the Jazz Age. Art Deco examples drew inspiration from Cubism and machine-age aesthetics, turning a functional utensil into a statement of modern style.
